In this largely self-contained episode, Morrison expertly retools DC's old superhero machinery. Morrison's scripts use this dark material effectively, and the art-first by Quitely, then by a team of three-is dazzling. Unfortunately, the Red Hood's violent tactics bring reprisals in the form of the Flamingo, an incredibly vicious South American assassin who enjoys skinning and eating the faces of beautiful young women. Dick's successor as Robin, Jason Todd, now calls himself the Red Hood and believes that the way to reduce crime is to kill criminals as dramatically as possible. Partnered with bratty, impatient 10-year-old Damian (son of the original Wayne), he wants to modernize Batman's equipment but maintain his high principles. Dick Grayson, the original Robin, has established a separate crime-fighting identity as Nightwing, but now has donned the iconic cape and mask of Batman. Head to the link for more from the ‘Dawn of DC’ panel, including confirmation that Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Mirko Colak’s “Green Lantern: War Journal” (starring John Stewart) will begin in September, and artwork from upcoming issues of “Superman,” “Action Comics,” “The Flash,” and “Justice Society of America.Following Bruce Wayne's reported demise, this Grand Guignol miniseries shows the competition to fill his role.

The announcement was one of several made by DC at Orlando’s MegaCon. This is also, surprisingly, only the third comics series titled “Batman and Robin,” following Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s 2009-2011 run (starring Dick Grayson as Batman), and Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s subsequent ‘New 52’ series (which did feature Bruce as the Dark Knight.) The comic continues Williamson’s tenure as DC’s busiest writer, with the book joining his current list of titles like “Superman” and “Green Arrow.” He is no stranger to either Batman or Robin, having penned Damian’s most recent solo title, and “Batman” before Chip Zdarsky took over last year.
